Bill Wilson –
This matcha has an excellent taste and is great for iced matcha lattes. The quality for the price is outstanding, so much so that I’m already on my third bag!

I’ve tried about 4-5 different matcha brands, and this one’s color is exceptionally bright. You can tell it’s ceremonial grade by its vibrant color and sweetness. It has a lot of umami with a hint of sweetness, and just a slight grassiness at the end. For $40 per 100g, it’s a great value, as most ceremonial matcha brands typically cost $50-$80 for the same amount. Just remember to sift the matcha before drinking to avoid small clumps.

I’m really impressed with the quality of this matcha! The price is also amazing. It’s definitely my go-to matcha now.
Story W. –
This was only my second time trying matcha, and it was a completely different experience from my first, which was a mushroom coffee and coconut cream blend. I purchased the 10g ‘travel bag,’ which felt more like a sample, despite the $5 price. It yielded about one to two servings, depending on cup size. I later learned that quality matcha like this often requires sifting through a hand sieve or tea strainer to dissolve properly, which explains why my whisk wasn’t enough. Instructions on the packet would be incredibly helpful for newcomers like me!
The flavor was stronger and the color much more vibrant than the blended matcha I had before. It had a distinct, earthy tea taste underlying the unique matcha flavor. While other reviewers said no sugar was needed, I personally added a little to suit my taste.
Overall, this is a very high-quality product. It’s a great treat for yourself or a gift for someone else. Just be sure to look up proper preparation methods, and if you’re gifting it, pass on those instructions! I don’t think anyone would be disappointed; the quality made me want to thank the seller for the experience, a feeling I’ve only ever had with books before.

This matcha is a bit pricier, but the quality makes it worth it. I’d rank it in my top 3 among the many dozens I’ve tried. I always prepare it traditionally, whisking 2g in 6oz of water for a thick taste test. It has a deep seaweed and nutty flavor, which is what I love most about matcha, placing it high on my list. Plus, it’s not bitter. We also bought their Okumidori variety, which I’m eager to try

This matcha is great. It has the authentic taste that proper preparation brings, though it does require some sifting to break up clumps before mixing. The color, flavor, and scent are all excellent. The travel size is perfect for sampling.

We’ve tried at least 30 different matchas, and this one ranks exceptionally high,” says an Amazon Customer. “The powder is vibrant, the fragrance is wonderful, and it offers excellent depth when brewed correctly. Many poor matchas out there try to charge a lot for hype, but this one’s legit. The travel size is great for taste testing a variety or for gift-giving!

This matcha offers great quality despite the small bag. It’s a dark green color and in a fine powdered form, with no chunks, making it easy to sift and mix with hot water. After whisking, it achieves a nice frothy texture and is delicious. It truly has an earthy taste with no added sweetener.
Overall, it’s a great quality matcha with a really nice flavor and it’s easy to whisk a frothy layer of bubbles. My only criticism is the small bag size, which yielded about 8 cups for me.
Customer –
This matcha comes in a convenient travel-sized ziploc bag, making it perfect for on-the-go. I was pleased with its vibrant green color, a sign of good quality. It was easy to prepare for my matcha latte: I simply mixed the powder with water, whisked it into a nicely textured liquid, and then added milk. The result was pretty delicious! This travel size is also ideal for sampling if you want to try the flavor before committing to a larger bag.
Prime Mom –
This All Day I Eat Like a Shark Saemidori Matcha is a nice shade of green and tastes like a good ceremonial grade, even though it’s not explicitly stated on the bag. It’s smooth and has a very nice flavor, enjoyable enough to drink plain, not just in lattes.
It’s Japanese, first harvest, and JAS-Certified, all indicators of quality that the reviewer looks for in matcha. However, it’s not mentioned if it’s shade-grown.

This is a great, tasty matcha that’s high-quality enough to enjoy on its own or in a latte. It boasts a bright, vibrant color and is fairly easy to whisk into a smooth texture, though I do strain it first to prevent clumping. Like most matcha, it has only a slight bitterness (much less than black tea) and more of a grassy, earthy taste.
I’ve ordered from this brand before, and their quality is consistently good with authentic products from Japan. The 10g travel size provides about 5 servings and costs less than a single drink at a specialty coffee/tea shop, making it a great and affordable option for trying authentic matcha for the first time.
Max S. –
Wow, it’s been a while since I tasted some truly premium matcha, and what a difference it makes. The color was a deep, bright green hue, and it brewed into a deliciously sweet, refreshing tea. The best way to describe this is that it’s grassy like sencha, but much sweeter and has a crispy note, almost like a hint of genmaicha. I’ve only had a similar flavor in matcha when I had Kettl matcha, so this was really refreshing. The price point for a full size is fairly reasonable as well. I shared this with folks who don’t even enjoy matcha, and even they said this was delicious
Customer Review –
This ceremonial grade matcha immediately stands out with its vibrant color, clearly indicating higher quality than typical bulk options. When blended with oat milk over ice, it required no additional sweetener, a testament to its natural taste. There was no bitter taste, and the resulting drink had a nice, creamy texture. I did notice some tiny clumping that my matcha whisk couldn’t fully resolve, so I’ll sift the powder first next time. The 10g bag I ordered has an expiration date of 8/31/25.

This matcha is vibrant and sweet! I love it and will be using this brand from now on. So far I’ve made lattes with it and cupcakes with matcha frosting and both turned out exceptional. The color is so bright and it tastes very refreshing, this is high quality. I highly recommend.

This matcha arrives in the small bag as shown, which is likely the most optimal size for travel, providing enough for a few cups. The best before date on this one is August 31, 2025.
It tastes as good as other “premium” grade matcha available. As for whether it’s better, that’s hard to say without being a matcha connoisseur.
Rust –
Don’t let the small, simple bag fool you; this matcha powder is exceptional. It boasts a vibrant green color and delivers an authentic taste, akin to what you’d experience in Japan, with every sip. At just $5 shipped, it’s a far more affordable option than what you’d find at a local Japanese supermarket.
Pure –
This organic and plain matcha is perfect for both tea and desserts. A small bag yields about 5 cups of tea, so it can be used up quickly.
When purchasing, always compare prices carefully; sometimes buying multiple small packages can be more economical than a single large one.
Customer –
This ceremonial grade matcha offers a good flavor and a very nice color. The small amount in the pack is somewhat expected given its quality. This matcha is best saved for drinking rather than baking, for which you can use a cheaper alternative.
